Gottem showcase

image.png

Dar 'Gottem' Gearnut is a gnome of epic -- nay, of legendary -- proportions. His 25 health (at max level) is the highest we've ever seen of a Splinterlands card. He's come prepped to tank it up, and in this post I'll share some of the battle I played with him over this past week.

If you want Gottem, you can find him in the Voucher store or the secondary market.

Let's dig in:


Just can't get past him

Gottem loves holding the front while Mantaroth dishes out the damage. In this battle, it looks mediocre at first with Kelan killing Goff, but in the end they just can't get past Gottem, and Mantaroth has all the time he needs to clean things up.

Mega meat-shield in B2B

In Back to Basics, Gottem is an absolute unit with his 25 health. In this battle where it's Earthquake/Scattershot I put him as my tank with the Triage/Scavenger under Tofu, expecting the other player to either go Drath or Tofu. I was able to pick away Drath with Snare while Gottem barely felt a scratch from the enemy & Earthquake.

Heal the TANK

Gottem gets 'em again in this awesome big-boy blast battle. I stick him in the front and accept a little Blast damage from the 2nd position Taunt, while Fizbo and the Ulund Sage ready the heals for Gottem. With Scavenger he gets stronger as the battle goes, and each healer gives him >10 HP back each time they go. It's beautiful to see.

Tofu and a Flanking Mantaroth

I think Gottem is going to get along great with Mantaroth in Tofu rulesets, especially with Fizbo sitting behind Mantaroth to provide the Deflection Shroud and healing for Gottem. Despite a bunch of annoying misses and some other RNG not going my way, there was simply no way for them to punch through Gottem in this one.

Nid and a Flanking Heloise

This...didn't work. But it was fun! The concept was that since there was no armor I wanted Heloise, and I greedily looked over at Nid to give Heloise Blast. It actually almost worked, and Gottem did a good job as the tank as well as by giving Inspire to Heloise to increase her damage output.

Big boys

In this Wild battle, I got to play for 99 mana with Dragon, so I went full "Big Boy" with my lineup. With Kitty at the helm, Gottem simply won't go down.

Just too much health (Gold battle)

Here's a showcase of a Gold league battle (for a tournament) where Gottem's health is once again on display, as the opposing team simply can't get through in time before the backline does its damage.

Wow, what a beast Gottem is. On the heal battle, I was thinking he would be healed for 10 HP total between the two healers. It's wild to see him getting 10 HP back in one heal! It will be interesting to see this guy combined with Calamity.

Marky you can't delete the facts Mc Franko & Keni Find freedom on #blurtblog #blurtchain #blurt

In the beginning, there was hope.

A dream:
That value could be created by anyone.
That power could be decentralized.
That a post, a vote, a creation —
Could rise or fall on its own merit.

But Dreams do not kill systems.
Corruption does.

And corruption has found its perfect form:
The scam farm
A ghost in the machine,
Wearing the mask of curation,
Feeding on trust,
Rewarding loyalty,
Punishing honesty.

It does not build.
It extracts.
It does not serve.
It controls.

And if you are new to this world —
If you speak truth, post honestly, expect fairness —
You will be broken.

Unless you learn to see.

So here, in plain language,
Is how to spot the scam farm.
Not with rumors.
Not with hate.
But with observation,
With logic,
With the cold light of the blockchain.


1. No Original Content — Only Engagement

The first sign:
They create nothing.

No posts.
No art.
No analysis.
No music.
Only votes.
Only comments.
Only reaction.

They are not users.
They are operators.

Like a drone circling a field, they move from post to post — upvoting allies, downvoting dissenters, farming rewards like a machine.

Ask:
What have they built?
If the answer is nothing —
Then they are not contributing.
They are consuming.


2. 24/7 Curation Rewards — The Machine Never Sleeps

The second sign:
Non-stop reward accumulation.

Real curation is organic.
It ebbs and flows.
It follows interest, passion, discovery.

But the scam farm?
It earns rewards every hour.
Every day.
Like clockwork.

It votes at 3 AM.
At noon.
At midnight.
Not because it sees quality —
But because it is programmed to extract.

This is not passion.
It is automation.
Or worse — coordinated manipulation.

Look at the pattern.
If an account farms rewards without pause,
It is not curating.
It is farming.


3. Burn Comments & Self-Voting Loops

The third sign:
Artificial engagement.

They post low-effort comments — “Nice!” “Great post!” — under their own content or that of allies.
These are not interactions.
They are fuel — used to game floors, trigger rewards, inflate visibility.

They may self-vote.
Or vote in loops with a network of alts.
A closed circuit of power —
Where influence flows only to itself.

This is not community.
It is a cartel.

And the blockchain records it all —
Even when websites hide it behind JavaScript walls.


4. Massive Delegated Hive Power from Centralized Sources

The fourth sign:
HP from exchanges or known whales.

Check delegation history.
If an account holds millions in Hive Power —
But most is delegated from @blocktrades or similar centralized wallets —
Then it is not independent.
It is a proxy.

Power given is power controlled.
And when one entity delegates across dozens of accounts,
It is not decentralization.
It is feudalism.

The land is farmed.
The peasants earn crumbs.
The lord takes the harvest.


5. Downvotes on Critics — Coordinated Silence

The fifth sign:
Suppression of dissent.

When someone exposes the farm,
When someone traces the trail,
When someone speaks truth —
The downvotes fall.

Not one.
But many.
Fast.
Silent.
Financially crippling.

No debate.
No response.
Just erasure.

This is not moderation.
It is censorship with profit motive.

And the worst part?
They call the victim a “troll.”
A “spammer.”
A “toxic user.”

Projection is the last refuge of the guilty.


6. Reward Flow to Secondary Accounts

The sixth sign:
Obfuscated wealth transfer.

Rewards flow not to the farming account,
But to another — often a spouse, partner, or private wallet.

@alpha receives rewards from @buildawhale.
@themarkymark benefits from activity routed through hidden channels.

This is not privacy.
It is obfuscation.
An attempt to hide the machine’s true ownership.

Follow the money.
The chain does not lie.


7. The Website Hides the Data

And now — the final proof:

PeakD requires JavaScript to view @buildawhale’s activities.
Other explorers show no results.

Why?

Because transparency threatens control.

They want you to look away.
To trust the interface.
To believe the silence.

But you do not need their website.
You have the blockchain.

You have logic.
You have memory.
You have the testimony of those who saw before the curtain fell.

And you have this guide.


The Escape: Blurt Offers True Freedom

On Blurt.blog, none of this can happen.

Because there is no downvote button.
Gone.
Not hidden.
Not reformed.
Removed.

No financial punishment for honesty.
No silent sabotage.
No cartel.

What you earn — you earn.
No whale can kneel you.
No gang can bury you.

Blurt is what Hive promised to be.


Conclusion: You Are Not Powerless

You entered crypto seeking freedom.
You found manipulation.

But you are not powerless.

You have eyes.
You have reason.
You have this knowledge.

Teach it.
Share it.
Protect the new.

Because the next victim could be you.

And when the system fails —
When the farms grow too bold,
When the lies become law —
Remember:

Truth does not require permission.
It only requires courage.


The Bilpcoin Team
We create. We expose. We survive.

Every downvote you cast drives another soul from Hive —
To Blurt.blog,
Where there is no downvote button.
Where what you earn — you earn.
Where silence is not weaponized.

Even Steemit — older, quieter —
Offers more freedom than what Hive has become.

And that should terrify you.

Because when people flee not to greener pastures,
But to freer ones,
It is not the destination they seek —
It is escape.

They are running from you.

Whatever you are doing,
Hold it with both hands.
Chase it fiercely.
Because you only get one life.

And in that life —
Never be afraid to say no.
Never be afraid to stand alone.
Always do the right thing —
Even when it costs you votes.
Even when it costs you rewards.
Even when it costs you silence.

At Bilpcoin we have not scammed anyone.
We have not stolen.
We have not lied.

We have only done this:
Shared what the blockchain already knows.

Transactions.
Data.
Patterns.
Not fabricated.
Not imagined.
Not speculated.
But verified — open, public, immutable.

And what we found is not conspiracy.
It is control.

Go to peakd.com/@buildawhale/activities — if the site allows it.
Look at the account.
Watch it move.
Like a machine.

@buildawhale
A name that should belong to a myth.
Instead, it belongs to a farm.

An account that farms curation rewards all day, every day.
That auto-downvotes users — not because they are wrong,
But because they speak.
Because they expose.
Because they are not part of the circle.

And who owns Buildawhale?
Not some anonymous farmer.
Not a rogue actor.
But Blocktrades
A whale whose influence stretches across Hive like a shadow.

Over 2 million Hive Power delegated.
Rewards flowing in.
Powering down daily.
And where do those rewards go?

To @alpha
The account widely known as Blocktrades’ wife’s wallet.
A silent beneficiary of a system rigged from within.

“We Are Bilpcoin”

We do not stand against the people.
We stand with them.
Shoulder to shoulder.
Hand in hand.
Not as leaders, but as fellow travelers — scarred, shaped, and strengthened by the same storms that have battered so many.

The Bilpcoin team each of us has been tested.
Not by theory, but by life, life itself.
By loss.
By silence.
By systems that mistake conformity for virtue and call censorship “moderation.”
We have known hunger — not always for food, but for fairness.
For a platform where a voice is not priced, punished, or purchased.

And yet —
We are strong.
Not because we were born that way,
But because we had no choice but to become so.

As a team, we have grown — not in spite of the chaos, but because of it.
We’ve learned to build in the dark.
To create when no one is watching.
To trust when trust is rare.
We’ve learned new tools, new truths, new ways of being — not for profit, but for purpose.
Because one thing must be said, and said plainly:
You should never stop learning.
You should never stop dreaming.
You should never stop reaching for what is right — even when the world leans heavily on the side of wrong.

When we began — back in the early days of Steemit — the idea seemed impossible:
You can earn from your words? From your art? From simply speaking your truth?
To many, it felt like magic.
To us, it felt like justice.

And know this: Bilpcoin was not born in boardrooms or venture capital pitches.
It was born in a single mind — one person’s quiet vision, carried like a torch through the fog.
Circumstances, harsh and unyielding, led that founder to let go of much of what they built.
We do not speak of those details.
Some wounds are not ours to expose.
But this we say:
From that fire, Bilpcoin did not die.
It evolved.

Bilpcoin is not a corporation.
It is a social experiment — one that asks a simple question:
What happens when we reward people not for gaming the system, but for sharing their truth?

Our mission is clear:
To reward creators, not manipulators.
To burn BPC tokens, not hoard them.
To return value to the network — not extract it.

We believe in Blurt — not because it is perfect,
But because it dares to be free.
To remove the downvote button is not a small thing.
It is a revolution.
A refusal to allow power to be weaponized by the few against the many.
No more silent sabotage.
No more financial punishment for honesty.
On Blurt, your voice does not lose value because someone feels threatened by it.

And let us be clear:
We have only ever shared what the blockchain already knew.
The transactions.
The patterns.
The truth.
We did not fabricate.
We did not exaggerate.
We revealed — and that, more than anything, is why we were targeted.

Downvotes are not about quality.
They are about control.
Whales farming rewards on Hive are not “supporting the ecosystem.”
They are gaming it — and everyone sees it.
Even those who won’t say it.

How can the world take Hive seriously when its pulse is set not by passion, but by power?
When the loudest voices are not the most honest, but the most rewarded?

But here — in this moment — we dream.
Not foolishly.
But fiercely.

Imagine it:
Steem. Hive. Blurt.
Not as rivals.
Not as fragments.
But as allies.
A united front of decentralized expression.
One network, many voices.
One mission: freedom to create, freedom to speak, freedom to be.

Yes — it would require change.
Yes — some would have to go.
Those who profit from silence.
Those who fear transparency.
Those who confuse their privilege with merit.

But if we stood together — truly together —
We would not be a footnote.
We would be a force.

For now, it is a dream.
But dreams are the first code of revolution.
And who knows what the future holds?

We do not claim to have all the answers.
We only know this:
We will keep building.
Keep sharing.
Keep burning tokens, not bridges.
Keep standing with the people — not above them, not against them, but beside them.

Because in the end, it was never about coins.
It was about courage freedom truth.
And courage, like truth, cannot be downvoted.

The Bilpcoin Team.
